Elizabee (221 KP) rated Queen of Klutz (Sibby Series Book 1) in Books

Nov 22, 2019

I loved that the main character Is a bit crazy and klutzy. Fell in love but didn't even understand what was going on. Was stupidly funny and made me cry from laughing so much. (0 more)

That there is no spin off to this series for the best friend. A couple of the character seem to have exactly the same personality but they just cranked up the bitchy-ness. (0 more)

So this series is amazing I laughed my head at at the antics that happened. The main character will make you want to scream at you book,phone what ever you read on because she seems to be blind to what happening with the guy she meets in the first chapter. The best friend is amazing I want to be her, she is a complete bitch and it's great.

Terry Gilliam emerges victorious from his epic battle to the death with Miguel Cervantes' famous novel. Not quite the movie he famously never finished making with Johnny Depp, nearly twenty years ago, but a subtly different tale of a film director finding himself entangled in different versions of the Quixote story and, perhaps, looking for redemption.

After a slow and rambling start the film eventually becomes a charming, funny, and occasionally thrilling and moving adaptation (sort of) of the book - if it's picaresque and episodic, that's the nature of Quixote. The knowing wit and intelligence of the novel survive too. Strong performances, visually very impressive - the fact the film exists at all is remarkable, let alone that it's this good. Very reminiscent of Gilliam's movies from the 1980s: hugely imaginative, narratively chaotic, very individual, and equally easy to like.
